00:00There is a viral YouTube throuple in India.
00:04Arman Malik and his two wives, Payal and Kritika,
00:07who've been going viral for years about their life together and as a family.
00:12There is a difference between the life you live on social media,
00:16the life you live in society and what the law recognizes.
00:23Unfortunately, while Arman Malik and his two wives seem to be happy together,
00:28legally, the second wife has no rights in this particular family.
00:34What do I mean by that?
00:35I mean that the minute Payal, who's the first wife,
00:39who's legally married back in 2011,
00:42decides to file a complaint of Baigami,
00:46Arman Malik is in big, big legal trouble.
00:49He can, in fact, even go to jail for Baigami.
00:51And for Kritika, this situation is even more dire
00:55because she may or may not get anything.
00:58The law doesn't actually allow the second live-in partner
01:03to even claim maintenance
01:05if they were willingly and knowingly the second person in the marriage.
01:10So what does Kritika get if the relationship goes south?
01:13Kritika, nothing at all, really.
01:16But the children can inherit whatever Arman leaves behind once he dies.
01:20So for somebody who's looking at this thruple as a life goal or a social media goal,
01:28remember, how you live on camera and what the law allows are two very different things.
01:34So the only reason this works is because they are all happy together.
01:38But the day Payal, who's the legally wedded wife,
01:40decides to file an FIR for Baigami,
01:42Arman Malik is in deep trouble
01:45and he can even go to jail for up to seven years.
